I haven’t watched any Silo yet, but I’m a big fan of Adam Savage, and seeing his videos and enthusiasm on the prop ans set design for the show has definitely piqued my interest.

What’s the 8->15 year math?

Cutting off your arm isn’t necessarily illegal (didn’t look into that specifically, and it may well be), but from my quick googling is, legally required to be reported by most if not all medical professionals. That report will almost certainly fall well within the rules of what will put you into a 72 hour involuntarily psychiatric hold.

So… Cutting your own arm off, regardless of legality, is likely to lead 72 or more hours of imprisonment.

I don’t know where exactly the line between cutting your own arm off for fun vs. to study it vs. self treating with homemade cancer drugs falls on the danger to self and others scale. My line would likely be a lot closer to ‘do what you want to do’ than most judges, but I do think cutting off your arm for most any reason is a reasonable bar for some outside inquiry, from a mental health standpoint.

Just noodling here as well.

Likely answer —we’re being nerds and reading too much into it.

No—
—3 lbs of thrust isn’t going to be happening, speaking from experience with model planes.
—3lbs of the air inside is compressed and weighs more is even farther from possible.

Likely—
—It only has the battery, fan, whatever when it’s running, and they don’t count that when it’s uninflated for some reason. Like how cars have dry weight, curb weight, and gvrw.
—somewhere in the spec sheets, someone made a mistake, two people worked on things and rounded differently, some other clerical/communicative error.

That looks like maybe the opposite of what they need, that says it doesn’t affect normal operation, just boosts the ring. That website looks like it’d have something to fix the issue though.

I’m confused by the it in your last sentence.

Using a screen recorder (there’s a built in one in the Xbox games app depending on version of Microsoft, or if not, people always seem to use FRAPS) to capture whatever is in the window to get more information could help.

Someone else will likely be along shortly with more helpful info.

People are colder now, looking like maybe around 97.9 average. But you’re still chillier than most.

On a mostly unrelated science note:
Whatever compression happens to that thumbnail, on my phone at least, does some wild things to the rats face. Interesting how the different fur size/texture/focus interferes with the the compression.

A related article linked inside that one that lists the most expensive keywords to buy ad space for is absolutely shocking.
Imagine paying Google over $1000 because someone visits your website.
Kinda makes me want to Google some maritime accident lawyers and who knows, MLMs and essential oil charlatans and sow a little mayhem. Although is siphoning money from scummy MLMs to scummy Google even a net bonus?

It’s always hard to decipher poor English, but that does seem possible. If you have a multimeter, plugging the socket into a cable would at least allow you to verify the ground and +5v easily. The data etc pins should be doable too, by using a USB A to C cable, and doing a continuity check to the pins inside the USB A side, which would be easy to look up reliably.

As far as swapping the wires around in the plug, that’s one of the easiest plugs to do it with. If you do need to, you’ll be able to.

If the wires are indeed arranged in the wrong order, but would otherwise be work, popping the individual sockets out and rearranging them is actually quite easy. You just need to either pry the little plastic tabs from the the outside or stick a sewing needle inside, and they should slide out fairly easily. If implementing the sewing needle, it often bends the little metal tab out of the way, and you’ll want to tweak it back with the needle before reinserting in the right slot.

The fact that phones haven’t been able to to this easily/natively/what have you is wild. Similarly, the fact that you can’t use old tablets as external monitors without, in my experience of quite a few, significantly buggy software that’s got significant lag in the best of times, is pretty wild. Sure, the technical hurdles aren’t small, but damn.

I’ve got a reasonably high end newish tablet (Galaxy S7+) that I can use miracast to use wirelessly as an extra PC monitor. It works quite well… if I’m near to a high quality new router. But can I just plug the tablet in and use it as a monitor with my laptop? Not remotely well.

It’s been a year or two, maybe I should check for new software again.

Depending on context, value is also often required. That can be in the form of nutrition, taste, flavor, preservation, or appearance. Take edible gold leaf, sugar free fairly nutrition free candies, spices, or hot sauce as examples. Their ingredients too, there’s wood fiber derivatives used as fillers sometimes.

On the flip side, a gold wedding band can pass through a digestive tract quite safely, and is materially identical to edible gold leaf. Generally not considered edible though. A sheaf of printer paper? Not edible. Some small paper wrappings, often edible. Similarly a marble would pass through with no danger unless chewed. In many ways safer than a very strong hot sauce or some baking ingredients. And yet…

Edible is quite a wiggly term.

This is a delight piece of work, and well worth the research needed to make it.

Sometimes you have to draw a line in the sand about strange low-stakes terminology opinions you’re passionate about.
I had a similarly passionate “what counts as a jumpsuit” debate not too long ago. The key difference in opinions was about sleeve length.

I will begrudgingly call a jumpsuit with short sleeves a jumpsuit, but once it has no sleeves at all it cannot hold the title anymore. Jumpsuits were designed as full body garments for jumping out of planes, fancy dress overalls just aren’t jumpsuits, regardless of the slow bastardization of the term fashion has allowed. There’s no great title for it, overalls shares a similar niche but not quite. Romper also comes close, but requires shorts, not full length legs.

Thanks for the rant.

The cool thing is that they’re floating because of gravity. Specially, the thing they’re floating in is heavier than they are, so the float medium gets pulled underneath the object.

By free search allowance, do you mean the one time trial of 100, the 300 per month if you’re paying $5, or something else?

Marlon Williams is easily one of my favorite artists. I love the direction he’s taking his newer music too. Top three from his most recent album for me are Promises, Thinking of Nina, and River Rival. He’s also a truly authentic and kind dude. A+ on stage and off.

In a totally different flavor, he had a guy called Merk opening for him for part of his recent tour, and he’s got some funky stuff worth checking out.

I’ve owned two dji products, the Air2S and osmo… 3? Both needed apps downloaded not via Google Play.

Given the size and reputation of DJI, you shouldn’t have any concerns.
